One of the more shocking developments Thursday night during the 2022 NFL draft included the fall of Liberty quarterback Malik Willis, who went unselected in the first round.
As the Colts hold the No. 42 overall pick, they theoretically have a chance to trade up for Willis in the second round if they view him as a potential franchise option under center. But should the Colts be looking to move up Friday night to make that happen?
It’s one thing to try to trade up in the draft, but as Billy Madison wisely once said, “It takes two to tango…or something like that.” With other teams potentially wanting to move up as well, there could be a bidding war for Willis given his upside. As much as we know about Chris Ballard, the man doesn’t do bidding wars.
